In our latest Embroidered Worlds update, a guest post from Michael Burianyk addresses the question, "Why do we need Ukrainian stories?"

How Amazing Could This Ukrainian SFF Anthology Get?

On September 1, we launched a Kickstarter to fund Embroidered Worlds, an anthology of fantastic fiction from Ukraine and the diaspora. We are working to spread the word far and wide about this collection of Ukrainian authors, many of whom have never been translated into English before.

The more people we can reach during the Kickstarter campaign, the more incentives we can unlock to make this book even more special!

If we reach our $30,000 goal, we will hire three Ukrainian artists to create interior illustrations, and include those in all editions of the book. At $50,000 we will make available a limited-edition, numbered hardcover, with art prints of the cover and illustrations that can be framed.

HOW AMAZING WOULD IT BE TO HAVE ILLUSTRATED, LIMITED-EDITION NUMBERED HARDCOVERS WITH ART PRINTS!?!

We raised $10,000 in 4 days. Can we double that in a week?

Embroidered Worlds is scheduled for publication in December 2023. Anyone wishing to join in supporting the book has until Sept. 30 to do so, at levels ranging from a $1 ebook order to a $1,000 benefactor gift.

I invite you to follow the link and order your copy of Embroidered Worlds, and please spread the word to other readers who might like to add it to their libraries. For $20 you can order a paperback edition and also get an e-book copy!

Between readers of imaginative fiction and supporters of Ukraine, the potential audience for this book is large and diverse. Please support and share as you can!

Thank you to everyone who has pledged and shared so far! (If you have ideas how to spread the word, reach out. I welcome your ideas!)

I showed my kids Good Omens. One was enchanted by episode three and kept going "Ohhh they *like* each other!" (upgraded to "Oh no they *really* like each other!" during the bandstand scene), fangirled over Shakespeare, and figured out the body swap very quickly. The other declared that Heaven is boring, ran around shouting "AWAY WI' YE, HARLOT!", and when we had finished the series started writing fanfiction about Newt and Anathema and the second book of prophecies (note that she is seven and I have not yet explained fanfiction to them)(or what a harlot is, which will no doubt cause difficulty in time). They then demanded "A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square" as a lullaby at bedtime.

I feel I'm doing rather well at this parenting thing, all things considered. ;)
